ePhoto Photography Studio Video Lighting Chromakey Green Black White Screen 3 Muslin Backdrops Lighting Kit Background Support Kit by ePhotoInc H9004SB-69BWG

I did quite a bit of searching before deciding to purchase this product - and I'm glad I did. The package arrived in a huge box, everything packed away nice and tight. I opened the packaging and started to assemble everything. At first I was a bit concerned and thought I would need my husband's help - but after watching the instruction videos on the sellers web site (which are awesome), set up was a breeze and only becomes easier with practice. I can imagine it taking about 10 minutes to set up on location once the user is familiar with the entire ensemble. I had two issues: one of the smaller light didn't work and an attachment head on the backdrop stand was cracked - but upon notifying the seller - replacements were shipped very quickly. Excellent Customer Service ePhoto - I am very pleased! Plus - it shipped super fast, I couldn't wait to set everything up.Quality = great for any Beginner or Advanced Photographer on a budget. The bag that everything is stored in is weak at the seams. I actually separated out the lights and light heads into a Tupperware container to relieve some of the stress of the bag, it is still pretty heavy, but much more manageable now.Use = The lights are awesome. I love the maneuverability of each stand. Don't be shy - tighten down each attachment, otherwise it's not as stable and may fall over (especially the larger Hair Light). The amount of light admitted is perfect for an indoor studio; I also love the ability to lower the light level via the light head switches. Outdoor, the only issue I foresee is wind blowing everything over.Results = Awesome portraits! This light system is as good as the expensive ones, and produces great shots!All-in-all this is well worth the $. From my experience - this seller is concerned about their customer's satisfaction and providing quality products at affordable prices. I will definitely be buying from this seller again!!!!Many thanks for the great products!

I work as a Production Minister and shoot HD film about once a week. 80% of the time, we use green screen or something generic in the background.We had some generic Smith-Victor lights that had a very warm tone to them.We since have used the ePhoto H9004SB-69BWG kit three times. And the footage is so much better and brighter. These lights CANNOT be mixed with fluorescent lighting unless it's the same color temp. The color temp is dang near a blu-ish tint . Otherwise your ability to white balance will be all over the place, but you should already know that.The setup is a bit time-consuming. The first time took me about 2 hours, including going through a bevvy of poorly organized YouTube tutorial videos that do not speak specifically to this kit. And because of the amount of things needed, I just put everything on a cart and literally only broke down the stands because folding up the lights properly would take another hour, and ain't nobody got time for that. Seriously. Don't buy this if you're breaking down and setting up AKA on-location shoots. I didn't believe the reviews and we're... well, a church, so we rolled the dice.The stands themselves are great, but the elbow joints needed to dangle an overhead/key light are almost worthless without a sandbag (they give you a sandbag, but no sand, fyi) and a few clamps. But considering the price, you're getting a lot -- I just know that if we were to do it all over again, we'd probably pass and save for a more professional kit. If you own a studio, you'd be hard-pressed to pass this one up.Two last notes:1) Don't expect to just take out your white/black/green fabric and start shooting. I have no clue what I expected for the material Muslin, but it is moderate-weight material that NEEDS to be ironed out before you start using.2) The fabric is only 6' wide, which is really weird because the bar goes to 10' wide, so for tight shots you'll be fine, but medium shots would be difficult and wide? Fogittaboutit.EDIT:We've owned this for over about a year, and it's a little worse for wear. The lights are literally falling apart. Again, this goes hand-in-hand with the fact that I only have a studio wherever I set up the lights, and it can't be permanent, so I'm moving them quite a bit.- One fixture just broke. Cracked and broken.- 4 of the light bulbs fall apart every time I move them. They didn't at first, but within a month, it was unbearable. I superglued them back together.- I don't know if time has somehow changed their color temperature or if I just didn't notice, but the 4 bulb system is a different color temperature than the super-large back-light.- Because of the color temperature variation, we decided to veer away from the green screen - haven't looked back.Again, if I had a time machine, I would have pleaded for LED's.EDIT:They are almost all dead. DON'T BUY THESE IF YOU HAVE TO SET THEM UP AND TEAR THEM DOWN A LOT. THEY DON'T LAST!

This is a great set! It's my first green screen setup and it works just fine! I think the soft boxes alone are worth the money. Sure, the tripods are a little lacking in heavy ruggedness, but mine are stationary. I just set mine up and leave them alone in the studio.If you're constantly traveling with them, I might suggest a higher quality set. But if your plan is to set them up and let them chill in one place, buy it! You won't be sorry.

Inexpensive, but not the cheapest of similar product sets. Package came with a Quick Reference Guide, but no instructions. If you are a first timer, it's not rocket science, but it may take you a while to figure out how to assemble, and you are on your own. Greatest disappointment for me was the boom socket and light bulb were different sizes, making that part of the set useless. Recommend trying another brand.
